Hello everyone!
I have no idea what I'm doing here is correct, if not I'm sorry!
I just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Ayiesha,19 and I've called the OU this morning to enrol onto the Foundation Degree working with young people. I start my first module in October which seems forever away but I'm more than sure it will come by pretty quickly!
I have lots of experience working with and for children and young people some of which I feel absolutely blessed to have had the chance to experience, for example I've been in the House of Commons to talk about the issues that I feel strongly about. I have also volunteered with the Children's Rights Alliance for England committee.
So as you can see I'm very focused in where I want to be in life. Besides my passion for youth I enjoy photography, writing, travelling, reading and singing. I am also a volunteer event first aider with the British Red Cross and I just love it.
But yeah, I'm going to stop rambling on now, don't be afraid to say hello.

Hey everyone, thought id introduce myself too. Im shamyla, 20, and I have just enrolled on BA childhood and youth studies course, doing modules K101 and E108. Ayiesha I think that October is so far away too :( but hopefully it will come around quickly, im so excited can't wait. I also have experience in childcare, working in a nursery NVQ level 3 qualified, also studied child psychology level 2 & 3 so I do have some experience in this area. it is honestly an amazing feeling working with children. How are you, Rebecca, jane and ben?
Hi Ayiesha I'm Becky, I too am starting my foundation degree in early years in October. I can't wait!! Maybe we could help each other out. You sound a very dedicated person so I'm sure you will get on just fine on the course
Hi, I am new to this and just enrolled on BA Childhood and Youth Studies this evening for October 2013 start on K101. I am tempted to try to complete E108 at the same time, not quite sure how heavy workload will be, and with a very active toddler don't know if it would be a good idea or not.
Good luck everyone.
Hello all,
My name is Zoe and I'm 19 (20 in November) and am in the middle of completing my application to start the BA Childhood and Youth Studies (I'm waiting for Student Finance). Good luck to everyone starting, I'm a little apprehensive about starting because I don't know what to expect, but I'm sure it will be fine. It'd be nice to speak to you all as we progress through our courses.
